I have really enjoyed these past few weeks, I feel like Ryan and I are getting a lot more one on one time. Date nights, getting my cravings met, and spending most of our time at home. I really am soaking it all up.I am also getting some girl time in, I love my girl dates and I think Claire will too. She is coming into a big group of loving girlfriends who I know are going to spoil her with hugs. This weekend will be no different, Ryan has a lot going on with the Grand Prix, I am sad that Ill be missing it but I have three lady dates lined up and I can't wait to eat and chat it up haha.

Last weekend I went to Shar's baby shower and it was so much fun, she is due a few months before me and it'll be exciting to see it happen before I go through it all. That same day we had some family friends in town from Utah and Temecula. We went to lunch on 2nd street with them and my parents - everyone got Claire the most adorable clothing and blankets. Everything is so soft I am in love! Her little closet is really filling up.

Erica made us a banner that says - We Love You Already <3 it is so so cute, we adore it!

On the bump front, it sure is getting bigger and heavier. I wonder what she is doing in there, I feel her a lot more now during the day then I used to. Just little kicks here and there while I am helping customers. Pretty soon I am going to try the flashlight test - her eyes are developing and supposedly if I hold a flashlight over a part of my belly she might kick it or try to get away from it and I am really excited to find out how that goes. The chiropractor has become my best friend, I wouldn't say that I am in a lot of pain but the headaches are frequent and the back aches are starting. He has been helping me a lot and I am also going to start upping the massages, might as well milk this while I can haha.

Baby Claire! Can you hear me? I know that you can :)They say pretty soon you will be able to know my voice and your dads voice from everyone else's and that is really exciting. I feel such a bond with you already and I hope that continues to grow over the few months we have left while I still get to carry you around. Your dad has been very supportive as per usual but he wrote a blog for you last week and everyone flipped. I hope when you read these one day you can tell just how much he adored you before you were even born.You are getting pretty big inside of there, are you squished? I will keep eating cookies to make more space for you :) We just made our appointment to get to see you in 3D and I really hope that you are awake and active for the video and pictures. We made the appointment for mothers day weekend, I don't know if this really counts as a mothers day for me but whatever you are my baby and I am your mommy and maybe the two of us can go out and celebrate. I love you so xoMommy

So sweet! I love the new bump pics, you really look like a little Preggo lady now ;) you will love the 3d ultrasound! Can't wait to see her little features. Eat a piece of dark chocolate before you go in, that should wake her right up.
